Floor Cleaning: How to Choose the Right Agents and Techniques for Different Types of Flooring?

The cleanliness of floors in homes and offices is crucial not only from an aesthetic point of view but also for the comfort and health of its inhabitants. However, due to the diversity of materials from which floors are made, cleaning can be a challenge. Incorrect selection of agents or techniques can lead to damage, so it is important to adapt methods to the type of surface. Below you will find a guide to different types of flooring and the best practices for their cleaning.

Wooden Floors:

Wood, as a natural material, reacts to external factors, especially to moisture. Too much water can lead to swelling and deformation. Therefore, it is worth using special products dedicated to wooden floors, which clean them gently but effectively. Also, remember to regularly impregnate the wood with special oils or waxes, which will extend the life of the floor.

Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles:

Although they are relatively resistant to various kinds of dirt, inappropriate cleaning agents can dull them or damage the grout. Regular dry wiping and cleaning with a mild detergent will keep them shiny for a long time.

Laminated Floors:

Although laminate resembles wood, it requires completely different care. Avoid soaking this surface and use special products dedicated to laminate that do not leave streaks.

Natural Stone (Marble, Granite):

This luxurious material, however, requires a specific approach. Never use vinegar or other acids on natural stone - they can permanently damage it. Choose gentle cleaners with a neutral pH.

Vinyl Floors:

This material is increasingly chosen for modern interiors due to its resistance and ease of maintenance. Just regularly vacuum and wipe with a damp cloth with a mild detergent.

Cork:

This is an eco-friendly material that provides excellent acoustic and thermal insulation. However, it is also sensitive to abrasion and dirt. Therefore, it is worth using specialized cleaning agents for it.

Carpets and Rugs:

They are a source of accumulating dust and allergens. Regular vacuuming and at least once a year washing carpets and cleaning the wardrobe will help maintain freshness and hygiene in the rooms.
